Since the CORE has a different feel that the normal bats I am not sure how to answer that question. Would think the 28 balance would work however if it does not we will work with you to make sure we get the right fit.

Since our factory is in South Carolina (and not product ordered from China) we will have bats in stock and ready to ship. In terms of swing flex you will find the CORE pure to form, somewhat like swinging a wood bat (remember it is solid) with senior level performance. Another key dynamic is the hitting area. Antiquated bats have a traditional sweet spot which allows maximum flex within a set ‘spot’ on the barrel. The CORE has maximum flex ability cross 81% of its 12” barrel.
Pictures will be ready soon as we get closer to the finish line.

UPDATE: We have some engineering adjustments that are very complicated so it looks like mid September will need to be our target date. Please note that we do not have a deadline or are we behind in any way. We are creating a completely new design to resolve the dilemma of senior bats. The CORE is one of the most technology advanced senior bat ever produced, it cannot be shaved, cannot be rolled or altered in anyway. Will performance and durability stand superior? We will let the CORE answer that on the field very soon. Building a new factory and creating a technology is no different then what the Army used to say, “just hurry up and wait”.

I understand you guys have been waiting for a long time, so have we. As you can understand, building a production line from the ground up has been a high and rocky road. We are in the last lap and after testing will get the bats out. If you have questions on your order please feel free to contact me.

We thank all those that have waited as we move from getting bats made in China to building our factory here in the USA. The move is far more than just setting up a simple production line to make antiquated copies of ordinary design. The bat market is a banquet of the same cake with different frosting, different yet the same. What we are striving to accomplish is original in design with the end result to prove performance and durability can be achieved in a senior bat. We also aim to show that American ingenuity is not a thing of the past but alive and well in a product 100% made in USA. The task is complex to say the least however when finished we will join an elite few that actually own and operate their own factory with full control over design and production.
The sales team is anxious, the engineer is reserved and the factory is almost ready to go. So please hang in there as we approached the runway for takeoff.

Thank you for the kind words. Over the past seven months I have been working with two associations on the bat shaving/rolling issue. Last week I had the opportunity to present the findings at a committee meeting. The shaving issue is far more widespread than many know or may admit to. One can only take a guess in senior softball to the percentage of shaved bats on the field. In the course of our study (along with a PhD from a leading University) we found senior bats to be a large customer base for the shaving business.
It will be interesting to see how players react to a bat that cannot be altered. Performance at the 1.21 is not a concern for us. The ‘pop’ will be there as will the added life span. Again the question will be how players react to the total concept of the bat and only time on the field will tell.
All of the core bats will be approved for play by each related association.

We did not change the old Veteran…..we just left it behind……
We did however bid China a fond farewell, started building our own factory in South Carolina to start fresh with new concept.
Putting together a factory is no easy task as many of you know. If all goes well we should be ready by July 4th which is our launch date.
The CORE concept has much to offer in a senior bat. Besides the performance and durability features we offer a bat that cannot be shaved, rolled or altered in any way.
We understand some will find this a negative feature, however many will find it a refreshing change.
‘God Bless American’ and ‘Made in America’ will proudly be displayed on the barrel.
We are working as fast as we can to meet 7/4/2011 timeline. Will keep you posted as we get closer.
